'''+1''': All variable, numeric aspects of the spell increases by +25% of its base effect. You may apply this effect multiple times to the same spell, increasing its effective spell level by +1 each time. For example, a 3rd level spell that would normally deal 5d6 + 10 fire damage with this effect applied four times instead takes up a 7th level spell slot and deals 2 * (5d6 + 10) fire damage instead. | '''+1''': All variable, numeric aspects of the spell increases by +25% of its base effect.

| + | ===Energy Admixture [Metamagic]=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can make your spells deal damage in numerous energy types at once. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Prerequisite:''' Energy Substitution | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Benefit:''' Whenever you prepare or spontaneously cast a spell with the [fire], [cold], [electricity], [acid], or [sonic] descriptor, you may choose to apply one of the following metamagic effects to the spell, adjusting its spell level as listed. Doing so increases casting time as normal. You may not further Energy Substitute a spell that is already Admixtured or vice versa. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+2''': Choose a single energy descriptor ([fire], [cold], [electricity], [acid], or [sonic]) that the spell doesn't already possess. The spell gains that energy descriptor. In addition, that spell deals +50% extra damage of the chosen energy type. (So if a ''fireball'' spell normally deals 50 fire damage, a ''cold admixtured fireball'' deals 50 fire damage and 25 cold damage.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+3''': Choose two energy descriptors ([fire], [cold], [electricity], [acid], or [sonic]) that the spell doesn't already possess. The spell gains those energy descriptors. In addition, that spell deals +50% extra damage of each of the chosen energy types. (So if a ''fireball'' spell normally deals 50 fire damage, a ''cold and electricity admixtured fireball'' deals 50 fire damage, 25 cold damage, and 25 electricity damage.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+4''': Choose three energy descriptors ([fire], [cold], [electricity], [acid], or [sonic]) that the spell doesn't already possess. The spell gains those energy descriptors. In addition, that spell deals +50% extra damage of each of the chosen energy types. (So if a ''fireball'' spell normally deals 50 fire damage, a ''cold, electricity, and acid admixtured fireball'' deals 50 fire damage, 25 cold damage, 25 electricity damage, and 25 acid damage.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+5''': The spell gains every energy descriptor ([fire], [cold], [electricity], [acid], or [sonic]) that it doesn't already possess. In addition, that spell deals +50% extra damage of each of those newly applied energy desciptors. (So if a ''fireball'' spell normally deals 50 fire damage, a ''quad-admixtured fireball'' deals 50 fire damage, 25 cold damage, 25 electricity damage, 25 acid damage, and 25 sonic damage.) | ||
| Line 42: | Line 59: | ||
'''+2''': Remove all energy descriptors from the spell and add the [sonic] descriptor to it instead. Whenever this spell would deal energy damage of any type, it instead deals sonic damage. For example, whenever you apply this effect to a fireball which would deal 10d6 fire damage, you may have it deal 10d6 sonic damage instead. | '''+2''': Remove all energy descriptors from the spell and add the [sonic] descriptor to it instead.

| + | |||
| + | ===Eschew Materials=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You don't need material components for your spells. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Benefit:''' You can cast any spell that has a material component or focus costing 25 gp per character level or less without needing that component or focus. (The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.) If the spell requires a material component or focus that costs more than 25 gp per character level, you must have the material component or focus at hand to cast the spell, just as normal. | ||

'''+1''': Increase the caster level of this spell by +1. In addition, the spell is treated as if its actual spell level is one level higher. This applies to all effects related to spell level (such as ''globe of invulnerability'' and save DC), though it may never be used to qualify for casting prerequisites. You may apply this effect multiple times to the same spell, increasing its effective spell level by +1 each time. For example, a 2nd level spell that would normally have a caster level of 5th and a save DC of 16 heightened two levels instead has a caster level 7th and be treated as a 4th level spell, increasing its save DC to 18. | '''+1''': Increase the caster level of this spell by +1.

| + | |||
| + | You can cast a spell the moment you need it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Prerequisite:''' Rapid Spell, Quicken Spell | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Benefit:''' Whenever you prepare or spontaneously cast a spell with a casting time of 1 swift action, you may choose to apply the following metamagic effect to the spell, adjusting its spell level as listed.

| + | |||
| + | '''+1''': The spell's casting time changes to 1 immediate action. | ||
| Line 75: | Line 110: | ||
'''+3''': Whenever you would roll a die as part of this spell's effect, instead assume the maximum value. Percentage rolls do not count for this purpose. For example, if you apply this effect to a spell that deals 9d4 damage, it would then deal 36 damage each time it's cast. | '''+3''': Whenever you would roll a die as part of this spell's effect, instead assume the maximum value.

A Persisted spell can only affect the caster; even if it has multiple targets or an area of effect, only the caster gains the benefits of the spell. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+1''': If the spell's natural duration is greater or equal to 1 hour per caster level, it now lasts 24 hours. (So at CL 6, a spell that lasts 6 hours or more can be Persisted this way.) | ||

| + | |||
| + | '''+1''': If the spell's normal casting time is 1 round or a full-round action, you may instead cast that spell as a standard action. This reduces casting time to a standard action even if the spell has other metamagic feats applied which would increase its casting time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''+1''': If the spell's casting time is longer than 1 round, reduce the casting time by a unit to the right based on the following table. If the casting time is between two of these units, treat it as if it was the next higher unit. You may apply this metamagic effect as many times as you wish, adjusting the spell's effective level by +1 each time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::::;1 century ⇒ 1 decade ⇒ 1 year ⇒ 1 month ⇒ 1 week ⇒ 1 day ⇒ 1 hour ⇒ 10 minutes ⇒ 1 minute ⇒ 1 round | ||
